Normal Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Milan, 2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2009 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the smart junction box (SJB) receives input from the multi-function switch to activate the wipers, the SJB activates the RUN/PARK relay through circuit RRW24 (GN/VT). When the RUN/PARK relay is activated, voltage is supplied back to the SJB through circuit CRW03 (VT/WH) into the (integral) HIGH/LOW relay. The windshield wiper motor receives power from the HIGH/LOW relay (integral to the SJB) through circuit CRW16 (GY/BN) for low speed and circuit CRW15 (BN/WH) for high speed. The windshield wiper motor is grounded through circuit GD121 (BK/YE). The multi-function switch is grounded through circuit GD116 (BK/VT).
